The America’s Cup Naples 2027 can be the centrepiece of a much longer holiday in southern Italy. Instead of travelling to Naples only for a race, visitors can build an itinerary around sailing, island trips, coastal towns, food and some of the region’s best-known historic sites. The 38th America’s Cup will be held in Naples in spring and summer 2027, with the Match scheduled to start on July 10.
Let Sorrento Voyage arrange the complete experience
For travellers planning more than a single race day, Sorrento Voyage can bring the different parts of an America’s Cup holiday together. The America’s Cup Naples 2027 concierge service can coordinate private yachts, helicopter tours, chauffeur transfers, restaurants and sightseeing around the race programme. You might stay in Sorrento, travel by The America’s Cup Naples 2027 private yacht to Naples for the racing, explore Capri on another day and arrange a private transfer for your airport journey. With an English-speaking team and 24/7 concierge support, the itinerary can be adapted to your preferred destinations, group size and travel plans.
Start with the race dates
The first step is deciding which part of the competition to attend. The Louis Vuitton Cup begins with fleet racing on May 22 and 23, followed by the challenger selection stages. The America’s Cup Match then begins in July. Visitors interested in the final competition can plan their holiday around the July dates. Those who enjoy following the wider tournament may prefer a longer stay during the Louis Vuitton Cup.
Choose a base
Naples is the most direct choice for guests who want to remain close to the event. Sorrento is another practical base for a coastal holiday. Its position across the Gulf makes it possible to reach Naples by private boat, while the town itself provides easy access to the Sorrento Peninsula. Capri is another option for travellers who prefer an island setting. Private boats can connect Capri with Naples and other coastal destinations.
Add a private race day
A private yacht can become the main event of the holiday. Rather than spending the entire day in one waterfront location, guests can depart from a marina and cruise toward the Bay of Naples. Depending on the programme, the day can include a swimming stop, lunch onboard and time in the designated spectator area during the races. This also gives travellers an opportunity to enjoy the coastline before and after the competition.
Explore the region between races
One advantage of the extended America’s Cup schedule is that there are plenty of opportunities to explore Campania between race days. Pompeii is an obvious choice for history enthusiasts. Capri can provide a relaxed island day, while Positano and Amalfi offer a completely different coastal experience. For food lovers, Naples and the surrounding region provide plenty of opportunities to explore local dishes, seafood and Campania wines.
Consider a helicopter flight
A helicopter experience can add another perspective to the holiday. The Gulf of Naples looks very different from above, with Vesuvius, Naples, the Sorrento Peninsula and Capri forming one large coastal landscape. A private flight can be arranged as a standalone experience or combined with a yacht day, subject to aviation restrictions and operating conditions.
Leave room for flexibility
Sailing depends on wind and sea conditions, so a good America’s Cup itinerary should not be planned too tightly. Private services can provide more flexibility when race schedules change. A postponed race can potentially become an opportunity for sightseeing, a restaurant lunch, a helicopter flight or another boat excursion. The official race programme should always be checked close to the travel date.
A week in Campania
A seven-day itinerary could include arrival in Naples, several nights in Sorrento, a private America’s Cup race day, a day in Capri, a visit to Pompeii, a helicopter experience and a final coastal excursion. This approach makes the competition part of a broader Italian holiday rather than the only reason for travelling. When the America’s Cup arrives in Naples in 2027, visitors will have the opportunity to combine world-class sailing with one of the Mediterranean’s most distinctive coastal regions. A well-planned private itinerary can make it possible to experience both.
